Vikram Hospital has the most comprehensive programs for Epilepsy treatment. We are committed to our epilepsy patients, and offer them the diagnosis and treatment that work well and help them to lead a normal life. Our experts will identify a personalized treatment plan depending on the type of epilepsy you have and get you back to normal life as soon as possible.
If you are considered for surgery, rigorous monitoring will be done to locate the area where your seizures begin and to see precisely how many seizures you are having and from which part of your brain. Our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit is fully equipped and customized to take care of the monitoring process and help monitor your seizure activity accurately.
Other diagnostic equipment such as EEG, MRI, VEEG, CT/PET, Wada Test, fMRI, SPECT, Electrocorticography and Invasive Monitoring to identify epileptogenic areas of the brain and allow our neurologist to map brain function are of world-class standards.
Why Choose Us?
Epilepsy Department at Vikram Hospital is another area of excellence we’ve with respect to Epilepsy and Movement Disorders. Dr. S. Raghavendra & Dr. Rajesh B. Iyer, Neuro-Epileptologist, having put in tremendous amount of work and has tremendous passion for the care and cure of epilepsy which affects 1 per cent of the population.
Our path-breaking innovations such as implantation of electrodes into the brain to investigate seizure abnormality have resolved three-fourth of most complex epilepsy cases that we do.
At Vikram hospital, managing medical emergencies through multidisciplinary team approach for both adults and children having epilepsy disorders is very well tailored. Team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists and epilepsy nurses are specially trained to recognize seizures, care for patients with seizures and keep them safe.

Neurologists and neurosurgeons work together to determine the best recommendation for each patient’s individual situation. Our advanced brain imaging options make it possible to precisely locate seizure focal areas before and during surgery, resulting in the best treatment outcomes for our patients.
